new Crystalline Entity Event

For the next three weeks, from May 19th at 9:00 AM PT to June 9th at 10:00AM PT, Federation, Klingon, and Romulan Republic Captains between levels 50-60 can queue up for our 10-captain “Crystalline Cataclysm” event to defeat the Crystalline Entity and earn one Crystal Shard every 20 hours. After collecting 14 of them, players can complete a new Event Reputation project to be rewarded with 50,000 Dilithium Ore, 500 Fleet Marks, 250 Marks of their choice (Fleet, Omega, Romulan, Nukara, Dyson, Undine, Delta, Iconian or Terran Marks), and the new Crystalline Absorption Matrix Console!

Adapted from crystalline matter salvaged from shards of crystalline entities, this matrix is able to absorb incoming energy damage when engaged. The matrix uses absorbed energy to fire and amplify highly focused Matter Conversion Beams at multiple targets which are capable of piercing through ships.

Affects foe [3 max]
10 kilometer range; 180 degree cone
2 minute recharge
To self: +500 All Energy Damage Resistance
Every 3 seconds, to 3 random targets in forward 180’ arc: Apply MatterConversion Beam for 308.2 Antiproton Damage
Once per second when hit by Energy Damage, +13.3% Bonus Damage for Matter Conversion Beam
Skills that affect this ability
Starship Long-Range Targeting
(Reduces Damage Penalty from Distance)
Starship Weapons Training
(Improves All Weapon Damage)
Starship Energy Weapon Training
(Improves Energy Weapon Damage)


This Console Mod can be equipped on any ship, in any console slot. You may only equip one of these mods on any single ship.

15 seconds according to a dev. It's also supposed to have a passive +ap dmg mod to make it worth using for the other 105 seconds.

If it does have +AP I'd throw it on my DBB pilot escort.

A contest to my fellow goons!

This morning I was looking through my old g-mail stuff and found another friendly message from our dear friend Treaver Calkum. Given the nature of his most friendly message, I have decided to offer the following as a contest to whomsoever wishes to partake!

The reward (as I'm both a cheap rear end and space poor) is 5m EC.

The rant: http://pastebin.com/LW0r5nUi

The first one who can repost that rant in a way that is grammatically correct and makes sense wins the prize!

That is all.

For rep equipment, you'll want the Iconian 4-piece space set, and it doesn't hurt to grab the KCB and console from Omega rep. Upgrade them to mk xiv when you can afford to, but don't try for quality upgrades except for the engine. You really want to get that AMP modifier on the engine as soon as you can.

Isn't AMP on the warp core?

Delta had like what? Maybe 6 episodes and the rest generic space patrols so I'm not really going to get my hopes up on them adding a ton of content. Delta did have the Adventure zone which added more mission type stuff I guess.

The worst part of the Kobali Zone was the respawn times. It could take you an hour to shoot your way through it.

The descriptions of the temporal boff abilities sound interesting, but I'll need to see numbers before I can decide if they're useful. Seems like the spec is mostly science focused, but the gain damage while reversing thing seems like it could be useful.

Would certainly help any sci-focused cannon boats... if there are any. (Vesta?)

Only new ships will have temporal seating so look forward to yet another round of re-released lockbox ships.

Only now with temporal instead of intelligence I mean command gently caress I meant instead of pilot seats. Oh who cares, they're pretty much all forgettable.

I was referring mostly to the spec bonus of moving in reverse.

Lagomorphic posted:

You need to have old autographed q pictures or risian pearls from the ship events (from back when they used the same currency from year to year instead of having the 2016 event only versions they do now). If you have those there's an event buyback tab in the event store where you can get the emotes and some other stuff to keep people from bitching that their currency got obsoleted. If you don't have those then you can't get the emotes right now but they said they'd make them available through other means at some point but who knows when that will be.

Thanks. Well that sucks. I feel like they've been saying they will add them for a while now. Thought they might have actually done it... but... :cryptic:

Then they set a 30 minute timer on doing the same patrol.... without adding anything else, also knocked down xp gains from Doff'ing and well.... lololol :cryptic:

At least there is the Admiralty system now and they pushed some more mission into the 50-60 group.

I could see this being kind of cool. I'm not super attached to my ships that I would blow a bunch of dough 3d printing it out, but I'm sure some turbonerds with too much money wouldn't balk at having their own on display.

You might be able to find a old 2 month sub time card on ebay. They usually go for pretty cheap ($5-$10). That way you don't have to worry about credit cards and cancelations.

Anyone's ground combat pets just randomly disappear? I bought the set from the Phoenix box promo for my temporal recruit to mess around with. I was just doing the Borg Arc when I noticed only the monkey was showing up. Finally finished it all and now all my pets are just gone. Empty slots. Submitted a ticket (haha!) but was wondering if anyone else has experience this?
